Abandoned

Code Cartel has created a replacement for this app with the similar name of Air Chat which you can install on modern iOS versions.

App wont even download aha

Garbooo. it must be in the toilet now lol

It’s so amazing!!

I love this app because it’s so bad.

Works great, but needs a bugfix

I got an iPad 6th generation with iPadOS 13 and tried this out. Tapping on message entry doesn’t bring up the keyboard for some reason. It however works on my iPod Touch 6th generation running iOS 12.

Good and compatible

This is really clean and simple to use. I tried it with my iPhone 6 running iOS 9.2.1 and older iPhone 4 running iOS 7.1.2, and both worked despite being different OS and models.

This is not one of those cookie-cutter chat apps that ask for money. It relies solely on one small ad banner at the bottom the screen. And it actually works (most other chat apps don't take into consideration Bluetooth restrictions that Apple has).

One small problem it does have is when both WiFi and BT are on, two copies of the same user are detected.

My suggestions would be to add profile pics to users, allow mesh networking so not all users have to detect each other and separate chat rooms. But I'm happy as is right now.
